The Warning - SURVIVE Live at Teatro Metropolitan CDMX (Reaction/First Listen) 

Hey Nikki! The Warning are always mixing genres and decades of rock. That is what makes their sound so unique. Their ability to blend so many different styles and genres makes them outstanding songwriters. Then add to that their musicianship and their live energy, makes them one of the best live bands on the planet.

The Warning is unrestricted by genre, and have an amazing diversity of musical tastes. They listen to everything from classical music (Vivaldi, Bach, etc.) to k-pop/j-pop to classic rock and metal. 'Disciple', one of their most metal tracks, has k-pop elements in it.

Survive is their Anthem, and has been played at their shows since it's debut. It showcases their enthusiasm for the music, and the love from playing as a family. It has stood the rigors of time for them. It is the anchor, and it is, the song that hooked me to them, and so many more. We love to hear it love, and we love to participate along with them for it. It's a crowd pleasing song then, now, and in the future. If you or your subs really want to see something special, watch them do their TedX Talk in 2017. They give a moving speaking presentation in their 2nd language, and play 3 songs. The first 2 songs blown the audience away, but Survive is the closer that drops them to their knees! They was only 12, 14, & 17.

Nikki, these three ladies are the real deal. They just announced that they will play in Wacken in 2024. Dany, the guitarist can hold her own with any female rock singer, Pau the drummer takes no prisoners and Ale the bassist is great at 18 years old, great backing vocals and awesome bass lines.

Members of a lot of the bands that I grew up listening to got into playing in a band as a way to impress the girls. They had a “rock and roll lifestyle” and were looking for a wild time. They seemed to be rockers as a job, rather than because of their love for the music. Sure, they would love it at times, but it was secondary in terms of why they played. Dany, Pau and Ale seem to love the music. They make great effort to get things right and really love playing it. They love performing - even when it’s on a tour with over 100 shows a year. They always bring energy and enthusiasm. That’s what I see and it makes me happy to be a fan. Thanks for the cool video!

There's a rule that whenever I hear Survive, I stop what I'm doing to listen. I'd get up and dance if my knees allowed for that. Still my favorite, after all these years. This song originally started with a piano intro played by Ale, giving it a bit of a showtunes style until everything kicks in and they go full blast. It's a rock dance song that in the 1980's would have had an extended dance mix. I suspect that the actual target of this song is a bit different from what it sounds, although I've never found out the story behind it. I think it's more likely to be someone in the recording industry whom they consider to have double crossed them, the same kind of thing as Unmendable. They actually have quite a few songs of triumph over detractors: Animosity (a personal acquaintance of Pau's who was unhappy that she didn't want to go to a sleepover party because they had a gig the next day, and told her that the band would never amount to anything), Narcisista (slap back at critics in Mexico unhappy that they were singing entirely in English up to that point), and I believe Fade Away (people who told Pau that she had no business trying to play the drums) also. While they have written a few love songs, they always have a dark undercurrent to them. Note how Dany sings "your words mean NOTHING" in the second (in this performance; she sometimes does that in the final chorus) chorus -- she's spitting them out with blood in her eye. And watch Pau in the intro.

This is one if their oldest songs that still makes the setlist and they "sell it" like they havent played it hundreds of times. Its great to watch every time especially live in person. 🤘⚡🔥

Teatrro Metropolitan is pronounced TAY-at-ro metro-POLE-ee-tahn. Now, they are all having fun. During her mid-teen years, it was clear that Ale was not as comfortable performing on stage as her two older sisters. But she's all grown up now and clearly enjoys playing even in front of HUGE crowds.

Very nice to see you again. I think they were barely teenagers when they wrote that.. The way they build up the beat and intensity, it's like they're trying to melt their instruments. Fine by me....TWA🤟🎶☮️

Next you should try DUST TO DUST or REVENANT Live at Teatro Metropolitan cdmx 2022.. TWA🤟🎶☮️

The Warning transcends time and space…👽

The warning is the greatest

Hi Nikki, greetings from UK I love that pirate top you have on 😁 This was another great song

Goosebumps from that jam at the end.

Nice reaction! This is from their 1st album, written as teenagers, and is somehow like their unofficial anthem… this pumping jamming ending part is awesome and shakes the venues! Saw them in London during their Euro tour, and they were mindblowing live! 👍⚡️🤘

Great reaction! I first heard Survive and The Warning while watching their second TedX. That is a great video to watch and they play Survive as the closer. During the TedX they talk about their story, and their dedication to being true to themselves and their own artistry because it's "their creative outlet, not just business." At that time they were being approached by HUGE entertainment entities about signing them...but of course they'd have to change somehow. In that TedX, between their songs, these three very young artists talk with a maturity way beyond their years. It is one of the most inspirational presentations I have ever seen. They play three songs from their second album. First up, Unmendable...which talks directly to those entertainment industry types and their feelings about how they were treated. The second song is When I'm Alone, which deals with battling inner demons, self doubt and a confidence of crisis while presenting a smile to the outside. The last song is Survive. Often, these three incredible artists have subtle messages built in to what they do and their lyrics can take on multiple meanings dependent upon the listener. Survive isn't a typical break up song as you might think. They were somewhere around 15, 13 and 10 when it was released and even younger when they wrote it.

One of the fan favorites. Many people became sold on The Warning through an early performance of this song during their TEDx session from 2017. (Hard to believe that was 6 years ago)

The style of this song is a bit different because they played it when the three of them were 11-year-old, 14-year-old and 17-year-old girls.

This is an older song also off their first album. They were and still are experimenting with different sounds and styles. This is a fan favorite. I think anything with the drummer singing gets the fans excited.

De los antiguos temas de rock de The Warning ,SURVIVE, un gran tema que pasara a la historia del rock de TW

This is one of their earlier originals from when they were really kids 😊

Seeing as this song is from their first Album, it was their closer at live shows for quite some time... They always put their heart into it and don't hold back!!!

Hey Nikki, we are both fans of Pau. Wait until you watch Pau singing Revenant from this brilliant concert. It really showcases her voice. Cheers Rich

!!!The Warning = 10 😀¡¡¡ Greetings from Argentina

Amo esta canción, es de mis favoritas

Hi Nikki, hope you and your husband are enjoying the Metallica shows. Back to TW, this song got them a lot of new fans when they first performed it at the 2017 Ted talk. Dany was 17, Pau was 15, and Ale was 12 years old. It's from their first album XXI Century blood where they experimented a lot to find their own sound. As @TimberWolf762 writes below, they are unrestricted by genre and mix, merge and combine as they please and to our enjoyment.

Thanks for reacting I like this version a lot. Disciple is similar to this as both Dany and Pau take turns singing. The live version from this concert is outstanding. Cheers from Canada enjoy your time in Jersey.

Im guessing that The Warning will beat 95% of all other choices in all future polls that they are a part of :D Love these girls

Their music does vary styles from song to song and even within the same song as you mentioned. As others have mentioned that is partly because of their wide and varied tastes in music, but also in the way they write. They don't box themselves in when writing with the idea that it has to sound like this because that is what we are. They write songs with the focus on making it the best song it can be regardless of what that takes. The other interesting part about that is that most of their songs start out with Pau playing on the piano, so a lot of their songs actually start out as piano ballads before they start developing the full sound of that song. When you combine that with the fact that none of them have any ego about what part they play in a song (ie guitar solos, who sings, etc...) it becomes their own style.

The ending is epic, first video i saw of it was the 2017ish tedx. Dany was around 17, Pau 15, Ale 12, it's awesome to see all that energy they poured into that ending at such young age🎆🎉🥁🎸🎹🕯️🌌😀🌎🌍🌏🔥🌠💥🙏⚠️⚠️⚠️🎇⚡⚡⚡🇲🇽🇺🇸

Sinister smiles, From the album Queen of the murder scene, I'm getting way too old to remember all the dates I'm 71 myself but I think this was back and 2018 and 19 that they did the album Queen of the murder scene it will blow your mind. It is a concept album that Paulina came up with and sisters helped her but there's like 12 songs and each one tells a story that leads up to the next 1. Here goes my Spanish (Excellnta)⚡️⚡️⚡️⚘️⚘️⚘️

🤘⚠️nice reaction ⚠️🤘 Viva the Warning…

I'll be seeing the Metallica 2-night concert in Phoenix. I've seen The Warning in person 5 times since May 2022. It would be beyond a dream come true if The Warning came to the Metallica Phoenix concerts (The Warning don't have any concert commitments that weekend) to guest perform on Enter Sandman (I'm sure your aware of The Warning's version of Enter Sandman {with Alessia Cara} which was Disc 1, Song 1 of The Metallica Blacklist album). I know it's not going to happen -- but I can dream.

I get chills on that last bass note and release by Alé. And the scream before the instrumental from Pau. And the jam session is so fun. Nice reaction btw. Hope the Metallica concerts are fantastic.

They freaking rule …they bring it Everytime

I just love this song so much!

It's awesome to see people reacting to tw songs for the first time, cool reaction; greetings from san diego CA.

Piling on here - DO check out their performance of this song at the 2017 TEDx. In fact the whole 19-minute video is worth a look. Someone else already compared the opening to a show tune, with little 12 year old Ale accompanying Pau on solo piano, until the whole band kicks in - BAM!

Love the reaction great song

Hi from Sweden. Did you know that it´s your favorite Pau (the drummer) who write most of the song and lyric on piano and then brings it too the two sisters and complete the songs with them.

Its great song. Nice job Nikki and have fun at the concert.

Thanks, Nikki, for reacting to The Warning.

That was a great race between Pantera and The Warning, wasn't sure just who was going to win in the end but am glad it was The Warning. This is just a great all out rocking song, sure its a relationship song but done in such a fun way. They really do show that they are having fun up there, they enjoy playing and singing and it shows, this isn't just a hobby for them but a passion and something they really love to do. It's also great that each song they do often has a different vibe to it which keeps things fresh. Hope you enjoy the Metallica shows.

Their lyrics are not by default about break up (good to have a context of the song to understand the lyrics) . At their Ted Talk before they played this song they talked about the challenges they went through as girls in music especially in the rock genre.

Nikki, Great comments on one of my top three warning songs. You mentioned you get the feeling of different styles. My take on the opening by Pau is almost theatrical as if a Broadway introduction. Just my opinion. On another note, you reminded me of another artist you may want to check out in more detail. Angelina Jordan has just released a new EP of six songs. It is a transformation from what she has done in the past as an incorporates a retro 60s vibe with current styles of hip hop, r&b and even a bit of rap in one song! What caught my attention is your liking of music that is empowering. I would call this EP progressive in that it begins with hurt and then each song progresses through the recovery to the empowered woman when all is said and done. Many reactors have gone through each song in order. The EP is called Old Enough. I think you will enjoy reacting to this along with more Warning songs! Peace and love.

To me the chorus comes across as like a musical theater sound. The Warning draws inspiration from multiple genres which is why their music isn't really cookie cutter

Pau is 5' feet of Power

Nikki and TW area gorgeous ,

🙋⚡⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥

Nicki. Lock a 4:16 and 4:28 and you see the sisters little things 🤠

You should check out their song "When I'm Alone" from this show.

Thanks for the reaction Nikki, TW are known for there switches in, not only genre’s, but tempo also. I’ve heard someone say this song switches between grunge and rock!! Keep The Warning coming please, thanks!!!😊🔥🔥

Enjoy your reviews. I believe that some of what you and others are picking up on as far as different styles and or sound in their culture. The Mexican culture is most easily identifiable in the guitar, mostly lead but bass as well. It took a long time but well worth the wait. Look what Mexico did with European Polka music. Now it's rocks turn. Watch out folks I can't wait!

🤘🤘⚡⚡

Just saw this video when I was going through videos by THEWarning...I noticed the thumbnail had a different background,lol,hope you had a great time but how could you not at a Metallica show,anyway really didnt pick up any background noise from water or train so your good there.Yes Pau Dany Ale always great at mixing styles!!

Perhaps their strikingly high level of enthusiasm for performing has something to do with music being a form of play for them as they were growing up. I don’t know, it is just speculation.

Great reaction! Also love the ending of this song ❤

🤘🤘🤘

♥♥♥

Excellent reaction hope you enjoyed the Metallica concert later girl.❤️🤘😎🇺🇸

Nice react !! If you do not like "break up" songs.. check "DECIPLE" from this same show... (all though it "is" a breakup song of sorts) it is between Humanity and A.I. as well as another song from this concert is called ERROR..... (dealing with what I just mentioned) Hope You have a look !! Cheers !!!

Sorry to Pantera, but TW kick butt in these polls! I’ve heard Survive literally hundreds of time both live, studio and videos and it just never gets old! I can’t be the only one that was praying you’d wrap this up before your husband walked out of the bathroom unsuspecting…😬

🔥👸👸👸🔥 🤘😎

That could be their interest in Japanese rock because the Japanese mix a lot of genres into rock and Also Korean pop.

reggae?

Great raction Nikki!! If you enjoy this performance by Paulina (Pau) you should react to Narcisista from this same venue, you will get an amazing surprise from Paulina!! Here is the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M6F6lM1PxdM.html Enjoy!!

Drumming and singing is really difficult. Also, she appears to be using really long sticks.

Not a fan of the singer. She’s really loud and doesn’t really hit notes with her voice. Most of her singing is monotone.
